Using video clips in Flash

deadfingers

Alright ive been using flash a while but i just recently used it in conjuction wit some mpg movie files. i was helping forge make an intro wit his site and he wanted some trailers and clips from video games but when i imported them into flash and used them in my project i previewed them and they looked very pixelized and blurry. Why does this happen? the movie clips played by themselves looks very clear and crisp yet in flash they appear this way why? i asked someone and they told me it might be that flash is vector based therefore makes the blurring of pixels in the bitmaps used for the mpg, still wit me? lol so what could this mean? is there away around this? has anyone had probs like this also? thanx for ur help

when you imported the movie there is a window that come up says what quality d you want the movie is that set at 100 percent?

hmmm im not sure if i remember? i know this video editing thing comes up but that about as far as i know.

Me knows! *Shakes hand in the air*

As it is plain to see, the size of the file also goes down. Its kinda hard to compress something in size without downgrading the quality. Plus, that isn't flash most intended job. If you want to make it look really snazzy, get a program that was born... I mean made to do it, solely.

If that doesn't work, you could always maybe try making it an Instant Quicktime file, but that's not so reliable.

Python

there is a way to do it because ive seen it done with nunchaku(numchuck) videos.

yeah i know theres gotta be a way, i know how to use video editing wit other programs but i dont have them and im not gonna use them anyways just for a FLASH intro thats gonna be like maybe 15 sec long lol anyone? anyone at all? whats nunchaku Python?

Python

nunchaku is a weapon...Ive been training with them for about 8 months now...I did have some videos of me a while back...cant seem to find them now.

See the attached pic of a bunny holding some nunchaku
